Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to optical tracking systems and, more particularly but not exclusively, to interaction between a tool operator and a tracking system.
- CAS computer-aided surgery
- surgeon operates in a sterile zone, whereas components of the CAS system are in a non-sterile zone.
- the surgeon is required to interact with the CAS system. For instance, the act of selecting an object on a screen is typically done with a computer mouse, the mouse directing a visible cursor to the desired point on the image.
- a mouse cannot be used in the sterile zone to perform such actions.
- an interactive tracking system for tracking a position and orientation of a tool and for interaction with an operator of the tool in computer-assisted surgery
- the interactive tracking system comprising a detectable device trackable for position and orientation and adapted to be mounted to a tool; an interaction device adapted to be mounted to the tool and actuatable to send an interaction signal relating to a function of the tool; a tracking system for tracking the detectable device for position and orientation; and a computer-assisted surgery system connected to the tracking system for calculating a position and orientation of the tool as a function of the tracking of the detectable device and for initiating an interaction as a function of the position and orientation of the tool when receiving the interaction signal.
- a passive optical interface apparatus for tracking by a tracking system of an object in space for position and orientation and for interacting with the tracking system, the passive optical interface apparatus comprising at least three passive detectable devices trackable for position by the tracking system; and a mounting device for receiving the three passive detectable devices in a known geometry and adapted for being secured to the object such that a position and orientation of the object is calculable by the tracking system as a function of a tracking of the known geometry of the passive detectable devices, at least a first one of the passive detectable devices being displaceable with respect to the object, a displacement of said first one of the passive detectable devices with respect to the object being detectable to initiate an interaction with the tracking system while maintaining the tracking of the object.
- a method for interaction between a tracking system tracking a position and orientation of an object in space and a handler of the object, the object having at least one detectable device with at least two detectable configurations comprising the steps of: i) tracking a position and orientation of the detectable device for calculating a position and orientation of the object as a function of the position and orientation of any one of the detectable configurations of the detectable device; ii) interpreting a change between the detectable configurations as an interaction signal from the handler; and iii) responding to the interaction signal by initiating an interaction response to the handler.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a surgical instrument having a computer interface device in accordance with the present invention
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmented side elevational view of the computer interface device
- FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of an interactive tracking system in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a method for interaction between the interactive tracking system and a tool operator, in accordance with the present invention.
- a tool is generally shown at S. It is pointed out that the tool S may take a plurality of forms.
- the tool S has a working tip T at an end of a working shaft W and a handle portion H.
- a blade 10 is secured to the tool S. More precisely, the blade 10 is positioned adjacent to the junction between the handle portion H and the working shaft W.
- the blade 10 comprises detectable spheres 12 , 14 and 16 .
- An interface apparatus is generally shown at 20 and is positioned at an end of the working shaft W adjacent to the handle portion H. It is pointed out that the interface apparatus 20 may be positioned elsewhere on the tool S, but is preferably within reach of the fingers of the surgeon.
- the interface apparatus 20 has a detectable sphere 22 which is mounted at an end of a lever 24 .
- the lever 24 may move between a first position, as shown by P 1 , and a second position, as shown by P 2 .
- the lever 24 may be biased such that the detectable sphere 22 remains, for instance, at position P 1 . Accordingly, when the lever 24 is moved to P 2 , the lever 24 returns automatically to position P 1 .
- the detectable spheres 12 , 14 , 16 and 22 are each coated with a retro-reflective layer in order to be detected by, for instance, an infrared sensor using axial illumination. It is pointed out that other shapes could be used as alternative embodiments to retro-reflective spheres. As an example, straight cylinders, corner reflectors or the like having retro-reflective properties could also be used. It is preferred that the detectable devices be passive, such that they are wireless. In surgical applications, having wires connecting a CAS to a surgical tool could create sterility issues, as the wires require to extend out of the sterile zone. It is obviously possible to use active detectable devices, such as wireless magnetic sensors.
- the detectable sphere 14 is shown removed from the blade 10 .
- the detectable spheres 12 , 16 and 22 may also be removed from the tool S, as each sphere is snap-fitted to an adaptor.
- One such adaptor is shown at 15 in FIG. 1 . Therefore, single-use sterilized spheres may be used, or other spheres which may be sterilized with processes milder than autoclave sterilization (which is typically used for sterilizing surgical tools and instruments), whereby a retro-reflective coating does not need to be characterized by its capability to sustain high temperatures or pressures.
- the tool S is preferably of materials adapted to be sterilized through an autoclave process.
- the detectable spheres 12 , 14 and 16 represent a geometrical pattern used for the tracking of the surgical tool S and will be referred to hereinafter as geometrical pattern 12 - 14 - 16 .
- the detectable spheres 12 , 14 and 16 are tracked by optical sensors of an interactive tracking system 18 , which recognizes the pattern 12 - 14 - 16 and knows the relation of the pattern 12 - 14 - 16 with respect to the tool S. Therefore, the position and orientation of the tool are calculable as a function of the tracking of the pattern 12 - 14 - 16 .
- the detectable spheres 12 , 14 and 16 thus allow for all six degrees of freedom of the surgical tool S to be known when the surgical tool S is displaced in the working range of the interactive tracking system 18 .
- the detectable sphere 22 is used with two of the three spheres on the blade 10 in order to make another optically detectable geometrical pattern.
- detectable spheres 12 , 14 and 22 form a geometrical pattern (hereinafter referred to as pattern 12 - 14 -P 1 ) when the detectable 12 - 14 -P 1 is tracked for position and orientation simultaneously with the tracking of the geometrical pattern 12 - 14 - 16 .
- pattern 12 - 14 -P 1 a geometrical pattern
- a move of the detectable sphere 22 from position P 1 to position P 2 will modify the optical pattern 12 - 14 -P 1 , and this will be detected by the interactive tracking system 18 .
- the modification detected by the interactive tracking system 18 will be interpreted as an interaction signal thereby. Accordingly, the tool operator is enabled to send a signal to the interactive tracking system 18 by flicking the lever 24 out of position P 1 , and this is equivalent to a “click” of a mouse button. It is also possible to use a third pattern, with the detectable sphere 22 held in position P 2 , and referred to as pattern 12 - 14 -P 2 .
- the two patterns, 12 - 14 -P 1 and 12 - 14 -P 2 enable the operator to use a time dimension (as opposed to a click). For instance, pattern 12 - 14 -P 1 may represent an OFF position, while pattern 12 - 14 -P 2 represents an ON position.
- this ON/OFF switching may be linked to various functions in the CAS system. It is pointed out that the optical patterns 12 - 14 - 16 , 12 - 14 -P 1 and 12 - 14 -P 2 must each be different from one another. Furthermore, all patterns defined by the detectable sphere 22 moving from P 1 to P 2 must not be similar to the pattern 12 - 14 - 16 , in order for the sensor not to confuse the patterns one for another.
- a vector is defined between the detectable sphere 22 at one position and one of the detectable spheres 12 , 14 and 16 .
- a vector is defined between the detectable sphere 22 at position P 1 and the detectable sphere 12 , and is referred to as vector 12 -P 1 .
- a modification of the vector 12 -P 1 by a displacement of the detectable sphere 22 is detected by the interactive tracking system 18 of the CAS system, which will then send a signal to the CAS system.
- a vector 12 -P 2 i.e., with the detectable sphere at position P 2
- the interactive tracking system 18 is typically an optical tracking system capable of tracking the real-time position and orientation of at least three detectable devices in a working space.
- the tracking system 18 may be an active tracking system.
- FIG. 3 the various components of the interactive tracking system 18 are schematically shown.
- the interactive tracking system 18 is mainly composed of a tracking system 40 and a CAS system 48 in operative relation therewith.
- the CAS system 48 has an interaction signal interpreter 49 A and a CAS system processing unit 49 B.
- the tracking system 40 consists of a position calculator 42 connected to sensors 44 to track detectable devices on a tool or object for position and orientation.
- the position calculator 42 is typically connected to peripheral 46 , such as a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse.
- the interaction signal interpreter 49 A of the CAS system 48 is programmed to detect the interaction signals, e.g., as set forth in the first and second embodiments of the present invention, such that the interactive tracking system 18 may initiate an interaction with the tool operator, or object handler.
- the interaction between the interactive tracking system 18 and the tool operator can be a function of the position and orientation of the tool being tracked. For instance, zooming actions may take place on the monitor of the peripherals 46 .
- the tool can be a pointer, whereby points in space may be digitized using the interaction signals to indicate points (e.g., registration of a bone by a pointer in CAS).
- a menu may be presented to a tool operator on a monitor of the peripherals 46 .
- the interaction signal interpreter 49 A filters the position and orientation data from the position calculator 42 , and forwards the position and orientation data to the CAS system processing unit 49 B, for the tracking of a tool or object.
- the interaction signal interpreter 49 A will detect an interaction signal from the position and orientation data received from the position calculator 42 .
- the tracking system 40 be an optical tracking system, to operate the interactive tracking system 18 with the interface apparatus 20 described above.
- the correlation between the tracking of an object for position and orientation, and the interaction between the interactive tracking system 18 and the object handler/tool operator is a feature of the present invention that is not to be limited to the use of passive tracking.
- the Polaris® Optical Tracking System by Northern Digital Inc. is suitable for such purposes.
- the detectable spheres 12 , 14 , 16 and 22 must be positioned on the tool S in compliance with the requirements of the interactive tracking system 18 .
- the Polaris® Optical Tracking System requires that the detectable spheres are separated from one another by at least 5 cm. It is also a requirement for this tracking system that each segment between detectable spheres must differ from the other segments by at least 5 mm.
- a detectable device secured to an object in a detectable configuration is tracked for position and orientation.
- a position and orientation of the object is be calculated as a function of the tracking of the detectable device.
- a change in detectable configuration is interpreted as an interaction signal.
- Step 52 is independent from step 54 and is continuous, whereby the detectable device is tracked for position and orientation for any detectable configuration thereof and is not interrupted by step 54 .
- an interaction response is initiated to respond to the interaction signal of step 54 .
- the interaction response may be a function of the position and orientation of the object.
- the above-described interface apparatus 20 may be used with other typical elements of the CAS system, such as, for instance, a calibration base having detectable spheres configured similarly to the above-described embodiments.
- the signal of a movable sphere detected by the sensor 18 may be used for the CAS system to take a calibration reading.
- the detectable sphere 22 is not restricted to two positions and, therefore, a plurality of various positions may allow the tool operator to interface with the computer in many various ways.
- the present invention is not restricted to using lever 24 as the interface device 22 .
- a switch sliding between positions, an indexed disk, a push button or the like may be used as long as a detectable element is displaceable on the surgical tool S between at least first and second positions and orientations.
- the use of four detectable spheres, one of which is moveable is preferred, other ways of providing a signal detectable by the interaction signal interpreter 48 are considered.
- a mechanism can be provided that would enable a precise and detectable motion of a pattern of the detectable spheres with respect to the tool, such as a quick tilt. There is however a risk that the given motion be inadvertently executed by an operator.
- two active sensors can be provided onto the tool, with one of the sensors being displaceable with respect to the tool while the other one is immovable with respect to the tool.
- a relative displacement between the active sensors can thereafter be used to initiate an interaction signal between a CAS system and a surgeon, with the immovable active sensor being continuously tracked for position and orientation so as to have a continuous tracking of the tool.
